EC635

EC=Eurocopter Product
6 = Military Type
3 = Tonnage i.e. 3 tonne machine
5 = Twin Engine

Bet the Swiss Boys would have liked to have a 4 where the 3 is i.e. 4 tonne

Max

Nice photo but why is the frangible fairing a different colour?

Think they'll just be happy to get something rather than the museum piece Allouette 3s;)
Bernouli's what?

At a guess, I'd say it's been "franged" and the replacement didn't come in the same colour. Only guessing...it's never happened to me...honest!
